    In this exclusive VA Claims Academy video, we delve deep into the significant 2024 VA disability pay increase. If you're a veteran rated at 100% disability, with a family to support, you're looking at a monthly income of around $4,100. But that's just the start!
    🏠 Say goodbye to hefty property taxes - average savings now hit $660 monthly.
    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 And let's talk healthcare: with CHAMPVA coverage extending to veterans and their dependents, expect health insurance savings averaging $1,660 per month for a typical family. This brings your total to a striking $6,400 per month or an incredible $77,000 per year!

      2009-2011 I was stationed at Ft. Lewis WA.(JBLM) going through medical retirement. I would help my platoon NCOIC with counseling soldiers with what steps on securing SSD starting 6 months post injury to present and unfortunately at least 70% of soldiers under the age of 25 years old opted not to pursue reapplying for SSD because they didn't want to be turned down again. From personal experience I was turned down 4 times and our battalion had 2 Social Security reps in our S1 (admin) that gave out a list of local attorneys that would represent you in front of the SSD judge. After 10 working days my attorney called me and advised me that my SSD Claim was approved and the judge read the extent of mine and approved it without question. Yeah I'm pretty jacked up 👨🏾‍🦼💨
      And my back pay award was $16,400.00 after 15% attorney fee. I was very happy knowing 10 minutes filling out paperwork, 4 stamps and a little patience netted me back pay plus $1470.00 a month for as long as I live or zombie apocalypse 😅 monies I was entitled to because of military service and injuries sustained.
      I was able to convince a couple older soldiers one of which had closed his business as a general contractor due to multiple deployments. His back pay was $161,000.00. He thanked me with a church's chicken meal and promise to continue spreading the word. If you like money and can wait up to a month to be awarded what you fought for 🇺🇲 and are under medical care from injuries sustained during your time in service just do what I did file, retain attorney after 3rd or 4th denial letter and wait. To Easy!!!

If 2 spouses are both Veterans who qualify as CHAMPVA sponsors for their family, they both may now qualify for CHAMPVA benefits. Each time they need medical care, they may choose to get care through the VA health care program or using their CHAMPVA coverage.

      There's this saying "a penny saved is a penny earned." Basically, the guy in the video is saying that if you aren't paying for healthcare (because you can get if for free with disability) then you are technically making that much a month because you normally would spend that money on healthcare. He's emphasizing the importance to utilize all the disability benefits because there is a lot of money you can save, or "make", besides the base disability amount

    I have a quick question. I have a 90% rating (all static) however one of my disabilities (ankle tendinitis) is showing that my tendons are “intact” now. However I stated that I am still feeling the same symptoms that was noted on my Va award claim “limited motion of the ankle”. I went to the VA for this MRI. I also told the Va doctor about the limited motion of my ankle. Do you think they may possibly decrease my rating because of this?

    I’ve done a great job avoiding doctors since I separated in 2006. Rather, I’ve seen naturopathic doctors, learned meditation and yoga, experimented with cannabis, even gone to the extreme of ayahuasca ceremonies. These have helped tremendously with things I’m dealing with. However, I understand this might not help with my VA claim given I have avoided going to doctors and not ‘adding evidence’ to support my claim with the VA. I’m sure the examiner will ask why the large gap.
    I can get buddy letters. I’ve considered getting a medical marijuana card that might help too. Switzerland has made most of these things legal and has successfully treated PTSD. I’m sure I can get medical evidence to support my claim.
    Is telling the VA examiner I’ve done weed and psychedelics something that can hinder me?

      CHAMPVA is strictly for dependents. I misunderstood it initially and thought it was for myself as well.
      If you file, include all the requested (but not "required") documents on the VA site. Turn around time is 30-45 days vs. months if the VA has to track down all the paperwork themselves.
      I just this past few weeks got all my approval paperwork, their CHAMPVA ID cards, and pharmacy ID cards. Dental, from what I understand, costs monthly and you have a choice between two providers. I'm thankful to have it cause I just got laid off from my job.

    Perhaps you can help me get the VA to actually look at my compensation correction. In a nut shell, my daughter (who was already listed as my dependent) turned 18 last September.r. The VA immediately stopped paying the extra money compensation as a dependent. However, she's still in High School. I actually submitted the form stating this fact back in August to restart my payment and pay the backpay from her birthday month. Yet, it's been 5 months now and the VA has yet to do anything with my claim. I'm so tired of how inefficient this gov agency is. It should not take this long for my dependent payment to restart. Of course, I will have to repeat this process in the fall when she starts college. How long is it gonna take for the VA to even look at this too? Another year?

    Check your local area for electricity assistance My brother only pays $140 a month no matter what his bill is. I think he spoke with a VSO.
    He also got a state of Pennsylvania pension for the rest of his life for $150 a month which pays for his electricity.
    He also filed for social security disability and gets almost double what he would have regularly gotten and it's not taxed.
    Oh and by the way now that he's completely disabled his kids get $500 a month while they're in college until age I think 25 or 26. And they don't pay tuition I think it's covered I'm pretty sure. I want to join your master program but right now I'm a little short on funds.

    I agree with most of this video. I think the CHAMP VA inclusion is kind of a stretch. You can only get that if you dont qualify for Tricare, and at 100 P&T are likely to qualify. Is there even a way not to qualify? You would be better to include veteran dental coverage which isnt well advertised and the vet might not even be aware of. This has already save me tens of thousands of dollars with multiple crowns and implants to fix all of the subpar dental care i received on active duty.

Also, remember ChampVA is only for those veterans that do not retire and are rated P&T disabled (or 4 other eligiabilty items). All retirees are eligible for Tricare and if you can get Tricare you can't get ChampVA.

I have been trying to catch up to the volume/demand which has been high recently. I absolutely do want to work with you though. If the wait is okay, let me know and I’ll add you to my list. In the meantime, I would recommend doing an "Intent to File" with the VA which will be helpful to backdate any approved diagnoses.
    Again, sorry for the waitlist. Thanks again.

Watch they make this a rule somewhere in the far future i give it 20-40yrs from now where this become a thing for veterans while millennials like me have to KILL THEMSELVES to earn it just like they did the school systems and made school easier for all the generations after millennials while we had to struggle.They already making the military easier for all the generations after millennials by making the drill sergeants kiss their boo boos when new recruits are going through basic training and that's no way to get tough if your emotions don't make you prove the drill sergeants wrong

I’m still in currently though so I can still go to medical, I just want to make sure I’ll be compensated for the different stresses that have been put on my body due to serving.
